Although the screen icon believes the “vast majority of Americans” understand the importance of protecting themselves and others from COVID-19, he didn’t mince words when laying out the dangers some have chosen to ignore.

“Look, there’s no law against ignorance. It’s not illegal to have opinions that are wrong,” Hanks said. “But there is a darkness on the edge of town here folks, and ... let’s not confuse the fact: It’s killing people. ... Yeah, that’s right. It’s killing people.

“And you can say, ‘Well, traffic accidents kill an awful lot of people too.’ A traffic accident happened because a lot of drivers aren’t doing their part. ... I don’t know how common sense has somehow been put in question.”

I really don’t take any adult who plays dress up and make believe seriously. Does anybody?

I’m baffled by people who want to know what an actor thinks about medical and civil rights questions.

“Look, there’s no law against ignorance. It’s not illegal to have opinions that are wrong,” Hanks said.


Can I suggest that Hanks is an uneducated Hollywood idiot?

It’s not illegal to have opinions that are wrong?? Who the hell is he to determine what is right or wrong??

And does he understand that an “opinion” by definition, is not a factual statement of being right or wrong, correct or incorrect. An opinion is something which is not some factual statement, but is a view or judgement people make.

Medical mistakes kill more people annually than WuFlu has so far.

My local hospitals scare me a flock of a lot more than WuFlu.

Actually, in some states (like mine - GA), the death rate has dropped to almost zero.

Not as many as homosexual ‘sex’. I guess we need to address that first.
